Ahmed Flags Off N1.5billion Ilesha-Baruba-Gwanara Road: Ahmed Flags Off N1.5billion Ilesha-Baruba-Gwanara Road Abdullahi Olesin — Dec 20, 2014 | Leave a comment Kwara State governor, Alh Abdulfatah Ahmed, has flagged off the 32.8km Ilesha-Baruba-Gwanara Road project in Baruten local government area of the state. The governor said that the road project will cost about N1.5billion, adding that the project would subsequently be extended to Kenu and Okuta to cover that flank of the local government. Ahmed noted that the state government was taking advantage of the dry season to grade about 500km of roads throughout the state, including Ilesha-Baruba-Gbereberu and Bode More roads in Baruten local government. He attributed the enhanced tempo in road construction, especially in this dry season to the conviction that provision of infrastructure, particularly motorable roads was a major catalyst for social-economic development. The governor also announced the resolve of his administration to establish an Independent Power Project (IPP) next year in the north senatorial district of the state. He said the power plant expected to generate 100 megawatts of electricity will power industrial clusters and essential services thus freeing up energy for homes and businesses in a manner that enhances the welfare of people and stimulates job creation. The governor disclosed that 40 secondary schools in Kwara North are part of the 120 across the state that would be rebuilt and equipped in line with global standards and local needs next year. « Previous Article Nigerians Right To Vote Is Sacrosanct – Customary Court Judge Original link Read More goo.gl/QPh3Hc (y) ✍comment ☏share
